An interactive 3D simulation app that visualizes chest tube mechanics in real-time. Animates air and fluid flow through the system, toggling between wall suction and water seal modes, with step-by-step explanations at a basic level.

Key Features

3D animated visualization of pleural space, chest tube, water seal chamber, and suction
Interactive mode switching: wall suction vs. water seal
Simplified 'explain like I'm 5' audio and text narration
Built-in quiz to test understanding
